The moon was as cool as water, and the bustling mansion gradually calmed down.
A shrill sound suddenly rang out from within the Bright Autumn Pavilion. A servant girl with a double bun was currently kneeling in front of a beauty bed with a white silk cushion spread out on her knees, while trembling. Traces of blood could be seen seeping out from her forehead.
"All of you are useless trash!" Concubine Shao's face was gloomy, her chest was heaving violently. Anger was burning on her exquisite face, and her beautiful eyes were staring fixedly at the servant girl in front of her. She wished that she could treat her like a golden wave and chew her up and swallow her whole.
Seeing that, Su Xin hurriedly poured herself a cup of tea, and used her eyes to signal the maidservants who were kneeling on the ground to quickly withdraw, then she advised the Concubine Shao: "Aunt, please drink a cup of tea first, calm down."
Concubine Shao did not vent her anger on Su Xin. She raised the teacup, flipped open the lid to the teacup and soup, then closed it again with a heavy heart, and hatefully said: "I never thought that after being good to her for so many years, in the end, I've raised such an ingrate!"
He initially thought that the last time he helped the Madame SHen was because he was angry, but he didn't expect that it would be so hard to plan everything out, and he painfully took out that Hundred Years Old Ginseng. And all of this was destroyed by Jin Lan, how could she not be angry?
"Second Miss is still young, maybe she has gotten the upper hand. I think it will be fine after a few days." Su Xin put away the cup in Concubine Shao's hands, reached out and moved the big soft pillow to the side, supporting her to lie down, then she picked up the fan with the hibiscus fan embroidered on it and slowly waved it.
"Last time when the Master punished Viv, I specifically didn't beg for mercy, just to vent her anger. "After that, she humbly went to coax Wei'er. Instead, she became more and more intimate with that bitch!" Concubine Shao clenched the handkerchief even tighter, looking as though she was about to gnash her teeth.
With regards to the First Miss, Su Xin didn't know how to explain it, so she changed the topic, "This is also strange, the Second Miss has always been unwilling to go to the Shuixie Pavilion since young, and has always kept a distance from her wife.
"Humph!" The Concubine Shao snorted, "In the end, she was the one who crawled out of the hole in her stomach.
"This servant remembers that this change in Second Miss only started after that serious illness." Su Xin was a servant girl by Concubine Shao's side. Wherever she went, Concubine Shao would bring her around and many things would naturally not be hidden from her eyes.
"Isn't that so? When you wake up, it's like you're a different person. It's really hateful! "
Su Xin's hand slightly paused, and said with slight hesitation: "Speaking of which, this servant does remember something, but I don't know whether or not I should say it."
Concubine Shao frowned, and indifferently swept his gaze across her: "Su Xin, how long have you been following me for?"
Su Xin was startled, "Aunt, it's been eight years."
The Concubine Shao laughed coldly, "It has been a while. I believe you should understand that I am a good person. If you really think you shouldn't have said anything, you'd better stay in my stomach and don't say a single word! "
Su Xin's face turned white, she kneeled down with a 'putong', "This servant deserves to die!"
Concubine Shao's cold eyes landed on Su Xin's trembling body, her white fingers gently rubbing the Icy Jade Flower Bracelet on her wrist, the coldness from her fingers slowly spread to her heart, extinguishing the traces of anger that lingered in her heart. After a long while, she sighed, "Get up, us master and her servant have been through a lot these past few years, haven't we?" "Now that you are by my side, you are the only one who can trust me."
Su Xin lowered her head, and said with a choked of sobs: "This servant …"
"What is it? Are you still mad at me? " Concubine Shao raised her voice, but her tone was slightly relaxed.
Su Xin immediately raised her head, "This servant doesn't dare!" Saying that, he stood up, picked up the fan on the ground, and continued fanning Concubine Shao.
Concubine Shao nodded her head in satisfaction and did not speak further. She shifted her body and chose a comfortable position before closing her eyes and dozing off. Who knew that the moment she closed her eyes, the smiling face of Jin Lan would appear in her mind. The rage that she had suppressed with great difficulty once again appeared. "What did you want to say just now?"
Su Xin looked outside the door carefully, and only after confirming that no one was listening did she softly say: "This servant remembers when I was young in the village, there was a brat who was very mischievous. He also fell into the pond at the village entrance and almost lost his life. After he was rescued, he suddenly acted as if he was a different person. He was gentle and refined, and actually didn't even like leaving the house. "Everyone in the village said that there might be something dirty …"
Although Su Xin was accompanying him, it was still deep into the night. The shadows of the branches outside could be seen moving back and forth in the night, as the wind blew, they looked like figures moving about. When the Concubine Shao heard him, he immediately got up and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Su Xin was shocked, and immediately shut her mouth. Seeing Concubine Shao's pale face, she knew that she was scared, so she quickly poured a cup of hot tea and brought it over.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, her icy cold four limbs finally warmed up a little. Concubine Shao exhaled, raised her eyes and said to Su Xin: "You're not allowed to bring this up again in the future.
"Yes, this servant remembers." Even though she said that, Su Xin knew that the Concubine Shao heard what she said. She lowered her head and the corner of her mouth curved up in a faint smile.
Jin Lan stayed at the Shuixie Pavilion tonight. Even though she knew that the Madame SHen was fine, she couldn't be at ease until she saw the Madame SHen wake up with her own eyes.
When Hui Xiu returned, Jin Lan had already placed Doctor Jiang's medicine on the stove. She hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh and kept the medicine.
Jin Lan looked at her for a moment, then told Bi He to clean up the East Wing, and had Mama Tang simmer a few jade-green porridge in the small kitchen. He also warmed up a few dishes to prepare, afraid that Madame SHen would get hungry after waking up. She herself was waiting by the stove in the cubicle to make the medicine.
After working busily for half the night, after he fed the Madame SHen medicine, he could faintly hear the sound of someone banging on the door. It was already late in the morning.
Not long after drinking the medicine, Madame SHen's complexion gradually improved and her breathing stabilized. Only then did Jin Lan finally relax. As soon as he relaxed, he immediately felt a wave of sleepiness. He could not help but stretch out his body, lay down on the ground in front of Madame SHen's bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Jin Lan's sleep was extremely unsteady, and she kept on having dreams in her trance. In her dreams, she seemed to see Ye Jinwei's ferocious face, and her bright red lips opened and closed, yet the most vicious words in the world came out:
"If it wasn't for father, how could things have changed today?"
"Right, speaking of this matter, it was personally decided by Crown Prince Anyuan."
"If it weren't for little sister, how could mother and I have the status we have today?
"It's all thanks to little sister!"
"It's all thanks to little sister!"
"Everyone..."
No!
No! Mother is not dead! Mother is still alive and well!
Jin Lan tightly covered his ears, but couldn't stop the sharp, ear-piercing voice. It was as if countless Ye Jinwei were surrounding her. The sounds came from all directions and tightly wrapped her like a thick cocoon, unable to escape and unable to escape.
Finally, she fell into the darkness, a heart-wrenching pain engulfing her entire body. She tried to open her eyes, but there was no focus. She staggered and groped in the darkness. After an unknown period of time, just as she was gradually falling into despair in this never-ending darkness, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Mother!" Jin Lan called out with joy. Just as she was about to head towards Madame SHen's side, she heard someone calling her name faintly.
"Miss, Miss, wake up …"
Jin Lan frowned, but the scenery around him suddenly changed. The darkness retreated like the tide, and after a moment of absent-mindedness, everything in front of his eyes gradually became clear. The lotus roots were covered by the Hibiscus Mutabilis's gauze. It looked somewhat unfamiliar, making her unable to react for a short period of time.
Seeing Jin Lan open his eyes, Mama Tang heaved a sigh of relief, but seeing that she was lying motionlessly, he just stared at the ceiling in a daze. His heart tensed up again, and he immediately waved his hand in front of Jin Lan, "Young lady, young lady!"
Jin Lan regained his senses, "Mama."
"Thank God! The girl is finally awake. " Mama Tang's anxious heart finally returned to its original place as she hurriedly helped her up and poured herself another cup of tea.
Jin Lan held the teacup and gulped down the tea. It felt much better after he drank it all in one go. Putting it down, he immediately asked, "Is Mother awake?"
